The UK should try to import oil from Canada. The Canadian oil is almost 40 % cheaper than the Norwegian oil on the international market.

And when all the posters with Union Jacks were hooting gleefully about prices rising in the US, I told them that they were going to feel the pain too.

Nobody wins a prize because they pay more for gasoline.

Petrol is approx $11 a gallon here in the UK..

So untill US gas prices are $11 a gallon,

SHUT THE F##K UP ABOUT PAYING $3.74 (average) a gallon.

PATHETIC.

Further to this, I read today that Hillary Clinton is being asked to put pressure on the Saudi's to increase oil production, that would drop the price of gas...

Read here:

As Republicans call for a domestic drilling surge to counter rising gas prices, Sen. Chuck Schumer is leading a charge on the Democratic side to tackle the country's energy woes with pumped-up production overseas.

The New York senator earlier this week wrote a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urging her department to convince Saudi Arabia to increase production.

"While Iran plays games with oil production to punish the international community for holding them accountable for their rush to develop nuclear weapons, Saudi Arabia has the capacity to blunt Iran's influence by increasing its production levels to capacity," Schumer said in a written statement.

Republicans, though, have been quick to assail Schumer's idea.

Both parties have stressed the importance of weaning the U.S. off foreign oil. Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said the latest call to seek Saudi assistance is "wrong."

"Why doesn't he start urging the president to start producing it here in America?" McCarthy said. "Not only can we produce it and lower the price -- we can create jobs, what this country desires. They are wrong."

McCarthy and other Republicans have pressed the Obama administration to make approval of the entire Canada-to-Texas Keystone pipeline a first order of business, in addition to opening up new areas of Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico to drilling.

The administration, though, has staunchly defended its record on seeking energy independence. President Obama has said there is no "silver bullet" to deal with the short-term problem of rising gas prices - now at a national average $3.74 a gallon.

Some simple maths...

Ok so £1.37 per litre for gas here in the UK today....

Meaning 1 UK gallon = 4.54609 litres

4.54 x £1.37 = £6.22 per gallon (US gallon)

£6.22 is the equilivent of $9.88 US dollars per gallon..

Thats right $9.88 dollars per gallon, is the price we pay today.

The US pays on average $3.74 per gallon

Meaning our gas prices are $6.14 per gallon higher.

SO CAN THE STARS AND STRIPES BRIGADE STOP WHINGING AND WHINING ON ABOUT IT...

I DREAM ABOUT PAYING $6 per gallon for petrol.

The last time we paid $3.74 per gallon was about 20 years ago.

GET THE F##K OVER IT....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fact is, you lot in the US don't even know your born...

Don't even start going on about how expensive it is to live in the states BS, medical insurance bla bla yada yada.

The UK is one of the most, if not THE most expensive country to live in the World.

But do you hear me moaning about it..... NO.

Try coming to live here, where your $ dollar is ONLY worth about £0.70 just 70 pence.

ROFLMAO...!!!

Re: Breaking! Petrol price hits new high - UK
it was all part of the plan to make us slaves through economic pressure.

it's failure and a better system will be obvious by the end of this year, hopefully much before.

it does no good to be angry and frustrated at each other, as we peons are all victims. look to the super rich and their instrumjents of theft, the central banks, for the real causes which are money for power and control. watch them fall this year.

I've just thought, no doubt with all the oil burning power stations around, we will be in for another increase in electricity and gas prices, by the greedy energy providers.

The Bank of England was set up as a privately owned bank through investors buying shares. Even the Banks resent nationalisation is not what it at first may appear, as its independent resources unceasingly multiply and dividends continue to be produced for its shareholder's.

These investors, who's names were kept secret, were meant to invest one and a quarter million pounds, but only three quarters of a million was received when it was chartered in 1694.

It then began to lend out many times more than it had in reserve, collecting interest on the lot.

This is not something you could just impose on people without preparation. The money changers needed to created the climate to make the formation of this private concern seem acceptable.

Here's how they did it.

With King Henry VIII relaxing the Usury Laws in the 1500's, the money changers flooded the market with their gold and silver coins becoming richer by the minute.

The English Revolution of 1642 was financed by the money changers backing Oliver Cromwell's successful attempt to purge the parliament and kill King Charles. What followed was 50 years of costly wars. Costly to those fighting them and profitable to those financing them.

So profitable that it allowed the money changers to take over a square mile of property still known as the City of London, which remains one of the three main financial centres in the world today.

The 50 years of war left England in financial ruin. The government officials went begging for loans from guess who, and the deal proposed resulted in a government sanctioned, privately owned bank which could produce money from nothing, essentially legally counterfeiting a national currency for private gain.

Now the politicians had a source from which to borrow all the money they wanted to borrow, and the debt created was secured against public taxes.

You would think someone would have seen through this, and realised they could produce their own money and owe no interest, but instead the Bank of England has been used as a model and now nearly every nation has a Central Bank with fractional reserve banking at its core.

These central banks have the power to take over a nations economy and become that nations real governing force. What we have here is a scam of mammoth proportions covering what is actually a hidden tax, being collected by private concerns.

The country sells bonds to the bank in return for money it cannot raise in taxes. The bonds are paid for by money produced from thin air. The government pays interest on the money it borrowed by borrowing more money in the same way. There is no way this debt can ever be paid, it has and will continue to increase.

If the government did find a way to pay off the debt, the result would be that there would be no bonds to back the currency, so to pay the debt would be to kill the currency.

With its formation the Bank of England soon flooded Britain with money. With no quality control and no insistence on value for money, prices doubled with money being thrown in every direction.

One company was even offering to drain the Red Sea to find Egyptian gold lost when the sea closed in on their pursuit of Moses.

By1698 the national debt expanded from £1,250,000 to £16,000,000 and up went the taxes the debt was secured on.

As hard as it might be to believe, in times of economic upheaval, wealth is rarely destroyed and instead is often only transferred. And who benefits the most when money is scarce? You may have guessed. It's those controlling what everyone else wants, the money changer's.

When the majority of people are suffering through economic depression, you can be sure that a minority of people are continuing to get rich.

Even today the Bank of England expresses its determination to prevent the ups and downs of booms and depressions, yet there have been nothing but ups and downs since its formation with the British pound rarely being stable.

One thing however has been stable and that is the growing fortune of:


THE ROTHSCHILDS (1743)


A goldsmith named Amshall Moses Bower opened a counting house in Frankfurt Germany in 1743. He placed a Roman eagle on a red shield over the door prompting people to call his shop the Red Shield Firm pronounced in German as "Rothschild".

His son later changed his name to Rothschild when he inherited the business. Loaning money to individuals was all well and good but he soon found it much more profitable loaning money to governments and Kings. It always involved much bigger amounts, always secured from public taxes.

Once he got the hang of things he set his sights on the world by training his five sons in the art of money creation, before sending them out to the major financial centres of the world to create and dominate the central banking systems.

J.P. Morgan was thought by many to be the richest man in the world during the second world war, but upon his death it was discovered he was merely a lieutenant within the Rothschild empire owning only 19% of the J.P. Morgan Companies.

"There is but one power in Europe and that is Rothschild."
19th century French commentator 1
